She dedicated her life in Tampa to taking care of her family and serving the Hispanic community. Always concerned with helping the less fortunate, she was heavily involved in raising funds through groups like Club 15 and La Casa Cuba which led to her receiving Tampa Hispanic Woman of the year in 1990. She was also an active member of the Cuban Civic Club and wrote for the Spanish Newspaper, Nuevo Siglo.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Martin Nieto Cid, sister Maria Montero de Feliu and survived by sisters, Juanita Montero de Diaz, Astrid Montero de Miniet, Adelina (Nina) Montero de Rey, son Martin Eduardo Nieto and his wife Lisa Nieto, grandchildren Martin A. Nieto and Alexandra Nieto

She will be remembered as an extremely proud native of Cuba who was strong in her Catholic faith, always willing to give advice, and provide comfort in times of sorrow. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
